Who want's to be a Multi-Millionaire?

The Scoop 6 rolls over again. Surely worth £2 of anyone's money to win £3m. I'll have a few pounds on it but won't go mad. The 6 races are

2.10 Lingfield
2.40 Lingfield
2.45 Haydock
3.20 Lingfield
3.30 Huntingdon
3.50 Lingfield

2.10 Lingfield
This doesn't look too bad to me, I've narrowed it down to 4 here :-) . Atlantic Star (9/2f), Beat The Bell (8/1), Swift Gift (9/1) and Ebraam (9/1). Markab looks to take them along but don't think he's good enough. My Gacho won this week, but isn't one to rely on. A big outsider is course specialist Fajr (28/1, Hills), who's won 7 of his 11 races around here.

2.40 Lingfield
A little bit tougher here. Only half a dozen here. I really think Secret Night (7/1) is pretty strong here. Jennie Jerome (6/1f) has a chance, but I think I'll leave that one out as she's only won 1 in 7 and makes her AW debut today. Everything else in single figures has a chance here and it's worth your while sticking to the front of the market.

2.45 Haydock
If Osako D'airy (4/1f) doesn't win, a few tickets will be torn up. He has a pretty decent chance but there are a few horses to threaten him. The Morning Line raving about Possol, but he steps up to 3m for the first time. Glasker Mill (9/1) and I Hear Thunder (14/1) look overpriced to me and should be up there. 2 horses who haven't hit the heights of a couple of years ago are Mon Mome (25/1) and Naunton Brook (16/1). Both shouldn't win, but can do if they fancy it.

3.20 Lingfield
I like the look of Bronze Cannon (5/1jf), who looked a class act 6 months ago. Need to refind it here. It's a pricewise horse, so It will probably be best if it didn't win. We don't want the £2 RP readers to still be in after 4 legs. Baharah (5/1jf) and Re Barolo (13/2) come next and have good chances. Harvest Queen (11/1) and Adjar (14/1) are the best of the outsiders.

3.30 Huntingdon
This is the acid test. I'll stick to which ones can't win. Er.... um.... none of them. They all have a chance.... arse. I won't put you off. The only horse above 16/1 that I would consider putting in is, Lowe Go (25/1). This should go to one of the top 9 in the betting .... hehe

3.50 Lingfield
A little easier if you are still in. Just Chief Editor (9/2) and Prohibit (5/1) for me. Will be opposing Ceremonial Jade (100/30f). Barry Dennis agrees with me and that's all I needed to know.

I'll add any other non-Scoop 6 fancies later on this morning if there are any.


Football
The footie did ok last week. Nice win for the Villa @ 7/1. Hope you were on. Carlsile, Derby and Darlo all won. Of course Spurs decided to play crap and Blackburn couldn't hold onto their Ht lead.

This week there is very little about. Man City (23/10, Hills) play Arsenal (11/8, VC, PP) and both teams offer value.

Backing Preston again. They are 10/11 (Betfred, Skybet) at home to Barnsley. After throwing away a 2 goal lead away at home to Southampton and busting all my trebles, I'm giving them 1 more chance.

Hereford (6/4, Skybet, PP, Coral, Lads) can beat Northampton. It's risky, but Hereford aren't that bad. Although Northampton are a tricky side to play against.

Scunthorpe (6/4, Skybet) are playing Leicester at home. Top of the table clash. Scunthorpe are a good side and Leicester are wobbling..... Get on..

A Skybet risky treble looks on the cards.

I had to double-take while going through the NFL handicaps. Miami are a 1pt favourite against the Patriots. Now the Fins are my team, and we all know Brady is out for the season, however surely the Pats should still be favs. Oh well, I've had a small interest. My Titans bet is looking good. 10/1 with extrabet to win the division, they host the Jets in a tough game this week. Hoping to close that one soon.
